Latest Trends in Computer Science

Computer Science is an ever-emerging field with new developments every other day. People especially students from computer science and IT streams are curious about these latest discoveries and they want to know more about that. Ph.D. and research students from computer science need to be aware of these things as their study is based on the latest trends going on in the world. They should leave behind all the obsolete topics and concentrate on the new ones to write their thesis or research paper.

Following are the latest emerging trends in the field of computer science:

Big Data

Big Data or Data Science is one of the emerging technologies these days. This technology that deals with the study, processing, storage, and analysis of the huge amount of data produced from different sources all over the world. This field has huge scope mainly for research. There are also a lot of career opportunities in this field.

Bio-informatics

Bio-informatics is the interaction of biology with computer science. It is a field in which the biological data is collected and processed using computer-based programs. The collected biological data is further converted into a readable form for study and research. There are a number of applications of bio-informatics including gene therapy, biotechnology, medicines etc. This field also has a promising future.

Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is the technology that provides an on-demand shared pool of resources over the internet to users. These services are provided by cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, IBM, Amazon web services etc. It is another emerging field in computer science and a good area for research.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is the science of imparting human thinking and intelligence to computers to create intelligent systems that can act and work like human beings. It is the driving force behind robotics and fuzzy systems. Machine Learning is one of the major application of Artificial Intelligence.

Deep Learning

Deep Learning is also getting a lot of attention these days. Machine learning and deep learning are often considered as one and the same thing but they are different. Instead, deep learning is a sub-field of machine learning. Deep artificial neural networks is an application of deep learning. It includes set of algorithms to solve certain complex problems.

Internet of Things(IoT)

Internet of Things(IoT) is a technology in which objects and devices are connected with each other virtually through the internet. The devices have sensors and actuators to act according to the surrounding environment. Smart homes and smart cities are applications of the Internet of Things(IoT).

Cyber Security

Cyber Security is required considering the fact that there has been a sharp increase in the cyber crimes in recent times. Cyber Security is needed in every area including public, private, and governmental organizations. This will also help in controlling malware activities and viruses.

Virtual Reality

The concept of Virtual Reality(VR) is gaining momentum with applications in gaming, engineering. It is going to affect the way we perceive the world. Through this concept, an artificial environment is built, which appears as real, using software and presented to the user.

These were some of the latest emerging technologies in the field of computer science for research.
